In the last 12 months, Citrix has been building up its own mobile management offerings. Citrix
has launched CloudGateway to manage native, mobile and web applications on mobile devices; and
Citrix Me@Work, offering a range of mobile applications to users.

Following the acquisition, Citrix plans to merge the technologies with Zenprise's tools and
offer a more comprehensive mobile solution.

“Consumerisation and BYOD have given rise to very difficult challenges for businesses in
enabling a productive, mobile workforce while still maintaining tight controls over company
information," said Sumit Dhawan, vice-president and general manager of mobile solutions at
Citrix.

"Zenprise was a clear choice for Citrix, with its leading MDM product, an experienced team, a
history of innovation, and a footprint on more than one million devices. With a complete Citrix
enterprise mobility solution, customers have all the necessary pieces to manage and secure mobile
apps, content and devices.”

Waheed Qureshi, founder, chairman and CTO of Zenprise, said the attitudes of the two companies
fit well together.

“This combination not only brings together incredibly complementary products, but a shared
culture of innovation," Qureshi said.

"Citrix and Zenprise have each proven their ability to deliver leading offerings in a fast-paced
market.
